Happy Valentine's Day, February 14
It is celebrated worldwide and named
after Saint Valentine. The first Valentine's Day was in the year
496. Emperor Claudius II executed two men, both named Valentine,
on Feb. 14 in different years in the 3rd century A.D. Their
martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the
celebration of St. Valentine's Day. Having a particular
Valentine's Day is thought to have originated from a Roman
festival called Lupercalia in the middle of February, officially
the start of their springtime. Incidentally, Cupid did not
come along until the 14th century.
